Report: Chinese Spy Targeted California Politicians, Including Rep. Eric Swalwell
FBI also caught the spy in “at least two separate sexual interactions with elected officials”
"It looks like there’s a lot of truth in the video Mike blogged about this afternoon.
"Axios dropped a report of a suspected Chinese intelligence officer targeting California politicians between 2011 and 2015, including Reps. Eric Swalwell and Tulsi Gabbard.
"The woman is Fang Fang or Christine Fang.
"Her operation “targeted up-and-coming politicians in the Bay Area and across the country who had the potential to make it big on the national stage.”
"Operation
"Fang had a well-thought-out plan:
She used political gatherings, civic society conferences, campaign rallies, and campus events to connect with elected officials and other prominent figures, according to U.S. intelligence officials, Bay Area political operatives, former students, and current and former elected officials who knew her.
- U.S. intelligence officials believed she was overseeing likely unwitting subagents whom she helped place in local political and congressional offices.
- Fang attended regional conferences for U.S. mayors, which allowed her to grow her network of politicians across the country.
- She also engaged in sexual or romantic relationships with at least two mayors of Midwestern cities over a period of about three years, according to one U.S. intelligence official and one former elected official.
- At least two separate sexual interactions with elected officials, including one of these Midwestern mayors, were caught on FBI electronic surveillance of Fang, according to two intelligence officials. Axios was unable to identify or speak to the elected officials.

It’s Time For Mass Civil Disobedience Against Lawless Lockdown Orders
For too long, mayors and governors and health officials across the country have overstepped their authority. Time to ignore them.
"By now it should be obvious that elected state and local officials issuing COVID-19 lockdown and stay-at-home orders are just making things up as they go along"
"Too often, their edicts aren’t based on science or data, but on a grotesque understanding of their own authority and infallibility. In the face of a worsening pandemic, they want to be seen doing something, taking bold action to stop the spread of the virus—that is, so long as it doesn’t hurt certain favored special interests.
"That’s why Americans living under arbitrary and unconstitutional lockdown orders should simply ignore them, en masse, as an act of civil disobedience.
"How else are ordinary people to push back against the capricious rules of politicians like Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti? On November 25, the day before Thanksgiving, Garcetti and county health officials banned outdoor dining at bars and restaurants for three weeks. Because of the spread of the virus, they said, it’s just too dangerous, so we all have to do our part and make sacrifices.
" 'But then they gave a carve-out for certain kinds of outdoor dining, like film and television crew’s catering sites. In Garcetti’s town, a massive film crew eating outside is safe but a small restaurant or bar with outdoor, socially distanced seating is too dangerous to remain open. Got it?
"Then last week, L.A. County Superior Court Judge James Chalfant called out the mayor and county health officials on this arbitrary exercise of power, ordering them to produce scientific evidence to justify the outdoor dining ban. “You have to do a risk-benefit analysis for public health. You don’t just talk about the risk of spreading disease. You have to talk about the benefit of keeping restaurants open,” Chalfant said.' " . . .
Our Brave New Biden World
Victor Davis Hanson...."In which the past is rewritten and the present is molded to burnish the commander in chief"
Only Democrats have a halo
"America traditionally has not reinvented reality after an election, although prior presidential winners have often tried, as in the fashion of our politics. But the new powers of social media, Silicon Valley, and a woke media have made reality-changing now a reality.
"Suddenly Antifa and BLM have all but disappeared from their heroic barricades. Where and why did they go? Did they ever really exist?
"Mysteriously, a week or two before the election, the flood of violence in our major cities began downsizing to a tiny trickle. How strange that former angry throngs are now in nearly suspended animation. Are all those black kneepads, helmets, and umbrellas now in closets? Are all those whiny Pajama Boys on the barricades back teaching in their Zoom classrooms, or taking their college Zoom classes in their parents’ basements?
"What changed? What in the world convinced committed revolutionaries to cease their long march to revolutionary justice?
"Did COVID-19 suddenly remind them that shouting in the faces of others, mocking social distancing, marching in tight phalanxes, shunning hand cleansers and mass mask-wearing were dangerous — although such activities had apparently been safe and even good for civic health while protesting a few weeks before? Was newly found social responsibility the reason that the looting, arson, destruction, and defacement went into hiatus?"...
Joe Biden to Tap California AG Xavier Becerra for HHS Secretary
. . . "Becerra, who succeeded Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as California attorney general, is also a proponent of abortion on demand and, like Harris, has received campaign contributions from Planned Parenthood.
"Once Harris became a U.S. senator, Becerra continued her prosecution of David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) after the video journalists exposed Planned Parenthood officials and their associates in the biomedical procurement industry discussing fetal tissue harvesting and sales. CMP was accused of recording confidential conversations.
"In 2017, Becerra, according to the Los Angeles Times, touted his office “will not tolerate the criminal recording of confidential conversations.”
“ 'The right to privacy is a cornerstone of California’s constitution, and a right that is foundational in a free democratic society,” he added.
"However, in May, Daleiden filed a federal lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, Harris, Becerra, and others in the abortion industry seeking “justice for a brazen, unprecedented, and ongoing conspiracy to selectively use California’s video recording laws as a political weapon to silence disfavored speech.' ” . . .
Joe Biden's Pick for HHS Head Is Absolute Garbage, Republicans Must Reject Him "If Joe Biden takes office in January, a hopefully GOP led Senate (assuming the Georgia run-offs turn out well) will get an immediate test of their mettle. That’s going to come in the form of Biden’s nominees, which appear to only be getting worse and worse. Neera Tanden to head the Office of Management and Budget was ridiculous enough. You’ll recall that she was a primary spreader of Russian collusion conspiracy theories and was also caught outing a sexual harassment victim (see Biden Wants a Wild Conspiracy Theorist as OMB Head, Republicans Laugh Uncontrollably)." . .
. . . "Becerra has no experience in the health sector, instead serving as a political hitman on the legal front for California’s left-wing leadership. You may remember his name because he’s the same guy who tried to prosecute people for revealing Planned Parenthood was selling baby parts. "...
